Robert Parker(94 Points)
"A dense purple color in addition to plenty of creme de cassis, crushed rock, blueberry, and brioche-like notes are found in this full-bodied Cabernet. It avoids the rustic tannins of this vintage, and exhibits good sweetness and purity of fruit. One of the superstar estates on Howell Mountain, winemaker Sean Capiaux is the force behind these impressive reds." -
The 2006 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is our most blended wine to date using all seven varietals we grow, but still varietal Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine exhibits a saturated dark purple color with an opaque center. Complex aromas of roasted espresso bean, black currant, graphite, black cherry, raspberry and blue fruits. Dense flavors of crushed black fruits lead to a long sweet persistent palate feel with full tannins and great acid balance that should allow this wine to age for decades.
